Nixon is still the most hated Republican by the 60s leftist professor types. Likely why he’s included as a ‘typical Republican.’
Reagan, of course, would have been more appropriate.
I agree.
I’ve never been shy about defending Nixon to a degree. He did some things that were wrong, there’s no denying it. What we have found out about other presidents causes him to be far less of a ‘demon’ figure than the academics and left want him to be seen for.
Contrast his likely win in 1960, with Al Gore’s clear loss in 2000. Nixon graciously stood down for the benefit of the nation. Al Gore tried to split the nation apart for personal gain.
Clinton was at least ten times as bad. Obama was perhaps 100 times as bad.
Nixon loved our nation.
Nixon never sold out our nation. He didn’t facilitate technology transfers to other nations that would harm us. He never sided with terrorist groups that wanted to hurt the United States.
There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell of Nixon moving avowed lifetime terrorist enemies of our nation here to butcher our citizens.
